Correction: Mohamed et al. The Effect of Drinking Ionized Water on the Productive Performance, Physiological Status, and Carcass Characteristics of Broiler Chicks. Animals 2025, 15, 229

Text Correction

There was a mistype in the original publication [1] due to authors’ oversight. A correction has been made to Section 2. Materials and Methods, 2.3 Animal Husbandry, Paragraph 1:

Gas heaters were used to provide the birds with the needed heat for brooding; room temperature was about 33 °C for the first three days and then decreased by 0.3 °C daily until reaching 23 °C.

There was an error in the original publication [1] due to authors’ oversight. A correction has been made to Section 2. Materials and Methods, 2.4 Data Collection, 2.4.5 Intestinal Microbiota, Paragraph 1:

Intestinal bacterial samples were collected from 10 chickens per group at the end of the experiment (after slaughtering) in sterile tubes and stored at 2 °C until microbial analysis.

Table Correction

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 3 as published. Creatinine (mg/dL) values of T1 and T2 were shifted with their standard errors, most likely, during the conversion of the DOCX file to PDF. The corrected

Table 3. The effect of ionized drinking water on the blood hematological and biochemical parameters of broiler chicks.
